I am 27 years old. Single. White. Female. Emphasis on the single. Being an "older", single, Mormon girl living in Provo, UT is not always the easiest thing in the world. This is a very paradoxical place to be. In Utah County we have over 50, 000 college students. You can subtract the ones who are already married and the ones who are not LDS and then add the singles who are not currently in school and you still have several tens of thousands of Mormon single kids running around in one very small geographical area. You would think that single LDS kids + thousand of eligible eternal companions would = a frenzy of dating, but it doesn't. Somehow the overwhelming number of us has paralyzed the dating world.
Living in this world of dating paralysis (that is heightened for the average post-grad girl) is all at once tragic and entertaining. I don't know that I am necessarily a pro at surviving Mormon single, but I certainly have a lot of adventures attempting it. So, I decided to start this blog. I figure it might be nice to let all of you "old" singles out there know that you are not alone in trying to navigate this crazy single world.
Welcome, and happy reading.
